Local time on November 5, the United States will welcome the new presidential election voting day, with over 75 million Americans having voted early. Meanwhile, the competition between Democratic and Republican presidential candidates Harris and Trump remains fierce. So, when will we know who won the U.S. election? The election arrangements in the 'battleground states' The final result of this U.S. election is expected to be determined by 7 'battleground states' — Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada. This is because the U.S. presidential election implements an 'Electoral College' indirect election system. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, and a candidate must obtain a majority (at least 270) of the electoral votes to win. Electors in each state usually allocate their electoral votes to the candidate with the highest vote percentage in the state's popular vote according to the 'winner-takes-all' principle. These 7 'battleground states' have a relatively large number of electoral votes. Moreover, for some time, polls have shown a fierce competition between Harris and Trump in these 7 'battleground states,' making it difficult to predict who will prevail. So, what are the election arrangements in the 'battleground states'? When does voting end? When does counting begin? When will the results be announced? Georgia electoral votes: 16 votes Voting end time: Early voting ended on November 1, election day voting will end at 19:00 Eastern Time on November 5. Ballot processing time: Started on October 21. Result announcement time: It is expected that the majority of the vote flow in the state will be announced on election night. In 2020, U.S. media announced preliminary results for the state on election night, later conducting a manual recount at the request of the Trump campaign. At that time, the state confirmed Biden's victory more than two weeks after election day. North Carolina electoral votes: 16 votes Voting end time: Early voting ended on November 2, election day voting will end at 19:30 Eastern Time on November 5. Ballot processing time: Started on October 1. Result announcement time: It is expected that the majority of the vote flow in the state will be announced on election night, but provisional ballots will be counted later. Due to the new (voter ID law) and Hurricane 'Helen', the proportion of provisional ballots may be larger than usual. In 2020, U.S. media announced Trump’s victory in the state ten days after election day. Pennsylvania electoral votes: 19 votes Voting end time: Early voting in most areas ended on October 29, election day voting will end at 20:00 Eastern Time on November 5. Ballot processing time: Will start from November 5. Result announcement time: Varies by county. Given that Pennsylvania will only start processing ballots on November 5, results are expected to take several days to be announced. In 2020, U.S. media announced Biden's victory in the state three days after election day. Michigan electoral votes: 15 votes Voting end time: Early voting ended on November 3, election day voting will end at 20:00 and 21:00 Eastern Time on November 5 (Michigan spans two time zones). Ballot processing time: Started on October 28. Result announcement time: Varies by county. The state usually announces almost all vote flow around noon the day after election day. In 2020, U.S. media announced Biden's victory in the state the afternoon after election day. Arizona electoral votes: 11 votes Voting end time: Early voting ended on November 1, election day voting will end at 21:00 Eastern Time on November 5. Ballot processing time: Starts once the ballot is cast. Result announcement time: The state usually announces early voting and mail voting results first. In 2020, U.S. media announced Biden's victory in the state early the day after election day. Wisconsin electoral votes: 10 votes
